Chapter 77 Thunderstorm

"It's already four quarters of the clock (10 o'clock), how is Cai Guo?" Kong Yingzhi led the five hundred elites of the Confucian family, waiting anxiously in the clear spring valley.

Suddenly, a guard from the late stage of Foundation Establishment ran over in a panic, "Young Master, it's not good, run away!"

"What's wrong?" Kong Yingzhi was still in a daze.

The guards didn't have time to explain, and as soon as they pulled Kong Yingzhi up, they fled to the rear. When Kong Yingzhi had just turned over the top of the mountain, he heard a bang bang sound from behind, as well as the sound of fierce fighting.

"Uncle Guo, what's going on? Has Cai Guo failed?" Kong Yingzhi looked at the guard, but didn't want the guard to tilt his head and die.

"Uncle Guo!" Kong Yingzhi was shocked, turned over to look, only to find that there were two fist-sized blood holes on the back of Chief Guard Guo, and his flesh and blood had already been mutilated.

Kong Yingzhi was stunned, and then picked up the body of the chief guard and fled with his life.

In the rear, the battle ended quickly; Beichen Yuqing tapped one by one, "A main character escaped!"

"I'll go after it!" Liu Lei was about to go after him as soon as he started.

Beichen Yuqing stopped him: "No need, if you go any further, you will be in the area of ​​Zhongshan County. The mountains are high and the forests are dense, so there is no way to catch up. Besides, it's not suitable for us to completely tear ourselves apart with the Kong family. Even if we catch that person, we still have to let him go." of."

"Why?" Liu Leigang was at a loss.

Beichen Yuqing smiled wryly, "I killed my younger brother and my son. If I kill my son again, Kong Donglai will go crazy. What's more, we need the Kong family to cooperate in one thing. Protect these corpses. Don't destroy it, this is important evidence."

Liu Lei just looked at Beichen Yuqing, and suddenly sighed: "You say you counselors, what are you thinking about every day?"

"Counselor!" Beichen Yuqing laughed, and took the lead to walk out of the valley.

When Anyang achieved an unprecedented victory, the second wave of messengers sent by Li Liang flew to Wuyang again.

"The enemy's strength is unprecedentedly strong, with nearly 50,000 soldiers, and more than 50 magic weapons of war?!"

This news completely blew up the court. His Majesty the Emperor is really a liar. Just like Xu Ren's evaluation, His Majesty the Emperor really doesn't have many real emperors who can do anything, and he panics when encountering major events.

"Your Majesty, I will go to the rescue immediately!" Fu Minghui said again.

"Your Majesty!" Kong Xiang stopped again, "Since Cai Guo used more than 50 weapons of war, it can be seen that the picture is not small! If it was only Anyang, it would certainly not make such a fuss. I fear that this is Cai Guo's plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain. .Once the defense force of the imperial capital is vacant, the real main force of Cai Guo will inevitably invade from the north.

In my humble opinion, Kaiping, Zhongshan and Luliang counties are all that is needed. Anyang can be discarded, but the emperor cannot take risks! "

Kong Xiang's words are so beautiful! His Majesty the Emperor was at a loss again.

Wang Chuan was sneering, watching Kong Xiang's performance coldly. Then he looked at Li Yulong again, with indescribable satisfaction in his eyes - neither of your two sons will come back! snort!

Li Yulong became anxious, but he couldn't find a good excuse to fight back. Besides, Li Yulong is a civil servant, so it is really inconvenient to speak about the military.

In the end, His Majesty finally ordered Fu Minghui to guard Wuyang City. At the same time, Kaiping County, Zhongshan County, and Luliang County were ordered to assist in the defense of Anyang.

After the court was over, Wang Chuan approached Li Yulong again, "Lord Li, I believe the two young masters will return safely. However, Kong Xiang, who has no regard for the overall situation, can no longer stay in the position of Grand Master. He should be replaced by someone who cares about the country and the people." people will do."

Of course Li Yulong knew what Wang Chuan meant—this guy wanted to be a grand master. It's just that Li Yulong didn't care about these things at this time, so he hurried back home.

At noon, a shadow appeared in Li Yulong's study.

"How?" Li Yulong asked nervously.

Shadow's tone was full of information, "Dajie, the situation is so..."

Li Yulong was dumbfounded when he heard this, and finally laughed out loud after a long time. "Very good, very good, Wang Chuan, you still want to be the Grand Master? Dreaming!"

Later, Li Yulong called Yang Zhong, "Yang Zhong, if you send this letter to Grand Master's residence, you must hand it to Grand Master Kong Xiang!"

"yes."

Yang Zhong was very fast, and within a moment, the letter was delivered to Kong Xiang. Kong Xiang was skeptical, but finally opened the envelope. In the end, there was only a blank sheet of paper in the letter.

"A blank sheet of paper?"

Not to mention Kong Xiang, even Yang Zhong was at a loss when he saw it. But he also confirmed again and again that he definitely did not change secretly.

After Yang Zhong left, Kong Xiang looked at the blank paper for a long time, and suddenly woke up—it was nothing!

This blank paper means nothing! And the reason why it is a blank sheet of paper instead of an empty envelope means that you can still keep the foundation.

The coherence is: Your Kong family is so busy that it is even in danger of being overthrown; do you want to preserve the foundation? Let's cooperate with me, Li Yulong! Whatever I want, you give me!

Kong Xiang was holding the white paper, his hands were bulging with veins, after a long time, he finally sighed and sat down on the chair slumped and tired.

In the evening, the imperial capital exploded with a bang, and the sky was full of noise.

The butler just came to Kong Xiang, but Kong Xiang smiled wryly, "Is it Anyang Great Victory?"

"Um...Master, you are really good at predicting things." The housekeeper admired him infinitely.

"Foretelling things like a god? Hey..." Kong Xiang smiled wryly in addition to crying and laughing.

Three times a day, once in the middle of the night, once in the morning, and again in the evening. But His Majesty the Emperor looked very good. Facing all the officials, His Majesty the Emperor personally announced the results of the battle:

"Li Xian annihilated 4,000 soldiers of Cai Guo's Yulin Army in the Huangshi Valley, and only the general escaped.

In the Anyang defensive battle, more than 17,000 enemies were killed in the first battle, and the defeated troops were chased for more than 30 miles.

In the second battle, more than 9,700 pursuers were beheaded.

In the three wars, a total of about 33,000 people were beheaded. Cai Guo went to the southeast of the defenders to the seventh floor, and was unable to attack for three years.

In Anyang, 5,148 people were killed or injured.

Great victory, great victory! Unprecedented victory! It was the biggest victory in the last thirty years. And a real victory! "

All the officials were sluggish, especially Wang Chuan, as if he had been hit with a stick, and he didn't know how to think for a while.

Kong Xiang suddenly stood up, "Your Majesty, the old minister is guilty. The old minister just got the news that Yao Jianye went inside and outside and let Cai Guo's four thousand elites enter the customs privately, which almost caused a catastrophe.

Please allow the veteran to resign and return home. "

His Majesty the Emperor was in a good mood at this time, and jokingly said, "I agree. However, I still have one last question I want to ask the Grand Master. Who does the Grand Master think can be a person who can assist the country?"

Kong Xiang sighed, "Thank you for your trust. Looking inside and outside the court today, the sages include Prime Minister Ouyang Wubing; Ten years of worry-free."

"Yes. Very good. Li Yulong, from today onwards, you will be my Minister of State Auxiliary. The first task I entrust to you is that the factory with 100,000 textile machines has been built, and you must help me run it well."

When Li Yulong heard this, he sighed in his heart, the king of subjugation, he still cares about this at any time. But he said, "Yes."

His Majesty the Emperor looked at the Prime Minister again, "Prime Minister, what should Yao Jianye do?"

"Family and family extermination!"

"Hmm. Who does the prime minister think can take over the position of governor of Kaiping County?"

The prime minister hesitated for a while, "It must be Li Liang. With the power of victory, Li Liang will definitely be able to quickly reorganize Kaiping County, eliminate hidden dangers, and make the northeast border of Daxia Kingdom worry-free."

"Okay, let's recall Yao Jianye, confiscate Yao Jianye's family and exterminate his family. Promote Li Liang to be the governor of Kaiping County, and promote Li Liang to be the governor of Anyang."
